Cadence Calvert-Toefield

 

 

 

The Calvert Toefield Memorial Road Race is run as a handicap race. The Category 4 field starts first and then the Category 3 field starts 3 minutes later.  Both fields race for the same prize money so the Category 3 riders must catch the Category 4 riders in order to place.

REGISTRATION:

 

– Registration opens at 5:30 AM and closes at 6:10 AM (even if riders are still in line – no exceptions!) All races start promptly at 6:15 AM. 

– Start/Finish and registration is located at Lincoln Road near the Wollman Rink parking lot.  Enter Prospect Park at the corner of Ocean & Parkside Ave and make a left into the Wollman Rink parking lot.  Registration is just a short walk or ride from the parking lot.  DO NOT PARK ON THE ROADWAY OR YOU WILL BE TICKETED & TOWED!

– Day of race registration is $30. NOTE: The pre-registered line moves much faster in the morning so register online and spend less time waiting in line and more time getting ready to race! 

– Masters, Women and Juniors race with their category.  Junior entry fee is $5.

– For those without a USA Cycling Racing license ONE-DAY LICENSES are available on the day of the event at a cost of $10.  Please note that one-day licenses can be purchased only by unlicensed or Category 5 Men or unlicensed or Category 4 women.

– Promoter reserves the right to cancel, combine fields and/or reduce prize money if minimum fields are not met.

 

 

Cars driving to the park may enter at Parkside and Ocean Avenues and park at the skating rink parking lot. From Manhattan, follow Flatbush Avenue thru Grand Army Plaza, and make a right on Ocean Avenue. Start/Finish is at Lincoln Road.

 

 

3.4 mile loop along the park roadway in Prospect Park. The course features one moderate (big ring) hill and sweeping turns. Although the course is closed to traffic, you will frequently encounter other park users (pedestrians, cyclist etc.), on the park roadway. For this reason all competitors are advised to stay alert and be polite to other park users. 

 

Riders must not enter the “recreation” lane (aka jogger’s lane) on the left side of the roadway for any reason.  Any rider entering this lane, even momentarily, will be disqualified and suspended by USA Cycling and will not be permitted to race in NY Parks for three months and will not be permitted to race in any Kissena Cycling Club event in Prospect Park for one year.
